Connie Ross, MD

At our offices, we take great pride in offering the highest quality treatments and services. For that reason, we chose to bring in Coolsculpting and not a generic machine. In fact, we are the largest provider in our area for Coolscuplting and offer it at 4 clinics. We know the research and development Allergan / AbbVie puts into their products such as Botox and Coolsculpting, and know they will stand behind the safety of the devices. We are of the mindset less is not always best, especially when it comes to your body. Please reach out to a pratitioner in your area for your specific concerns. Thank you for your question.

At our offices, we ultilize many modalites to address the chin and jawline. Kybella can help reduce pockets of adipose tissue under the chin as well as "off label" in the jowl area. We often utilize threads, Ultherapy, RF microneedling, and filler as well. We find in many cases we prefer the outcome of a multifaceted approach. Please reach out to a practitioner in your area for your specific situation. Thank you for your question.

We quite often address multiple areas of the face during the same visit. Although each patient is different and must be assessed and addressed that way, we may very well start with cheek filler and follow with filler in another area such as the lip and chin. To get the desired outcome, we find looking at the whole gives a better end result than looking at each part as an isolated situation. Please reach out to a practitioner in your area for an in person evaluation for best results. Thank you for your question.

Chemical peels (such as VI Peel), diamond glow treatments, and radiofrequency microneedling treatments are part of our portfolio for treating skin concerns such as pore size. Botox is not something we typically consider in our offices for that particular concern. There are many possiblities, and I would recommend reaching out to a practitioner in your area for an in person evaluation for your specific needs. Thank you for your question.

At our offices we quite often inject small amounts of Botox around the mouth and lips for cosmetic outcomes. One popular treatment is something called a "lip flip" which uses less than 10 units of Botox and relaxes the top lip to give it a more full appearance. We do ask that the area not be massaged directly after treatment, but eatly carefully is not a contraindication in most cases for that treatment. Please reach out to a practitioner in your area for an in person evaluation for your specific needs. Thank you for your question.
